liver cancer
The primary liver cancer, which is
to say that develops spontaneously depends on the hepatic parenchyma is rare.
It shows in our regions in cirrhotic
(see CIRRHOSIS).
As against the secondary cancer is
much more freqent.
This is a metastatic cancer, that is
to say that the liver is the seat of cancerous lesions that have a extrahepatic
origin (often digestive origin stomach, intestine).
SYMPTOMS
Primary cancer is manifested by:
- A big painful liver rapidly
increasing volume
- The condition is constantly
altered: dramatic weight loss, total loss of appetite, fever practically
constant.
- There are many complications,
especially bleeding.
The secondary metastatic cancer
demonstrated by:
- A tough guy and irregular liver is
accompanied by gravity right subcostal
- The condition is altered.
Sometimes it is a systematic review
that will explore this secondary cancer when we have some notion of the primary
cancer.
Instead the discovery of this second
cancer will find the primary cancer by radiological examination of the
digestive tract in particular.
The main primary cancers are:
- Cancer of the gastrointestinal
tract
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer.
TREATMENT
In both cases the treatment is
extremely difficult.
